No accidents but needs body parts & has had body parts replaced!? WTF? Just for kicks? This will hurt originality & always raise the question of how severely it was damaged, which makes it less desirable to future buyers since one can't tell for sure was the problem superficial or a serious crunch.

Based on your list I can't see more than mid-$40K ballpark. Which # Zanardi? People here would probably know more about the car & its past. And whether or not it has lived harder than your description. Got pics?

Well if it passes your inspection and you think it's worth what you're willing to pay for it, go for it. You don't find those for sale very often and if you do, they're usually pretty beat. If you want a Zanardi, you won't have many chances to buy one.
 
Its nothing that money thrown at it would not fix, thats for sure :biggrin:

I am seeing it tomorrow. I will let Prime in on it regardless of whether I pass or not. Sorry for the secrecy thus far!

Take pictures so that we can see too! :)
 
That's pretty vague. Which one?

Either Zanardi #49 or #50...I cannot remember which one for sure, but I am pretty sure it was #49. I just remember it being for sale in California and being totally beaten. Duct tape holding the seats together, misaligned panels, and all sorts of stuff. Really a pretty sad car. Even at the $30k asking price, it was still overprices by well over $10k. :(
 
I say buy it if the price is right, side skirt is no big deal could easily be replaced.

I remember that one. I thought it was #24 though?:biggrin:
